Pope Saint John Paul II

18For I know that there dwelleth not in me, that is to say, in my flesh, that which is good. For to will, is present with me; but to accomplish that which is good, I find not. 19For the good which I will, I do not; but the evil which I will not, that I do. 20Now if I do that which I will not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 21I find then a law, that when I have a will to do good, evil is present with me. 22For I am delighted with the law of God, according to the inward man: 23But I see another law in my members, fighting against the law of my mind, and captivating me in the law of sin, that is in my members. 24Unhappy man that I am, who shall deliver me from the body of this death? 25The grace of God, by Jesus Christ our Lord. Therefore, I myself, with the mind serve the law of God; but with the flesh, the law of sin.

66Teach me goodness and discipline and knowledge; for I have believed thy commandments.

…

68Thou art good; and in thy goodness teach me thy justifications.

…

76O! let thy mercy be for my comfort, according to thy word unto thy servant.

77Let thy tender mercies come unto me, and I shall live: for thy law is my meditation.

…

93Thy justifications I will never forget: for by them thou hast given me life.

94I am thine, save thou me: for I have sought thy justifications.

54And he said also to the multitudes: When you see a cloud rising from the west, presently you say: A shower is coming: and so it happeneth: 55And when ye see the south wind blow, you say: There will be heat: and it cometh to pass. 56You hypocrites, you know how to discern the face of the heaven and of the earth: but how is it that you do not discern this time? 57And why even of yourselves, do you not judge that which is just? 58And when thou goest with thy adversary to the prince, whilst thou art in the way, endeavour to be delivered from him: lest perhaps he draw thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the exacter, and the exacter cast thee into prison. 59I say to thee, thou shalt not go out thence, until thou pay the very last mite.
